In the hallowed halls of London’s Southwark Crown Court, on a day of great judicial drama (November 11, for those keeping score), Judge Sally-Ann Hales declared war on Qian’s ill-gotten gains. The “Goddess of Wealth,” also known as Yadi Zhang-a name now synonymous with fiscal folly-pleaded guilty, perhaps realizing that British courts do not tolerate crypto charlatans.

One of Bitcoin’s most influential investor groups: newly formed whale addresses, who thought they were invincible, have taken a hit in a market where sentiment is still ambiguous. Bitcoin’s volatile swing in the past few weeks has now sent these key investors’ positions into severe losses, as the price drops below their entry levels.

The latest update for Final Fantasy 14, version 7.38, comes at a difficult time for the game. Since November 3rd, North American servers have been hit by DDoS attacks, causing players on the Aether, Primal, Crystal, and Dynamis data centers to unexpectedly lose connection.

Thankfully, servers in Europe, Japan, and Oceania haven’t been affected.

The journey to release for Pigeon Simulator was quite a rollercoaster. Bossa Studios, the creators of I Am Bread and Surgeon Simulator, first announced the game in mid-2019. Two years later, tinyBuild, an indie publisher, took over the project and assigned it to their internal studio, HakJak Studios in Idaho. Unfortunately, HakJak Studios was closed in December 2023 during a company restructuring, leaving the future of Pigeon Simulator unclear. A representative from HakJak stated the game’s fate was now entirely in tinyBuild’s hands. Finally, in early November 2025, Microsoft announced Pigeon Simulator would be available on Xbox Game Pass, confirming the game was still in development and on track for release.

To begin the “Keeping the Memory” quest in ARC Raiders, players need to head to the wreckage area in Formicai Hills, which is located in the Dam Battlegrounds map. You’ll find it in the southern part of the map – be sure to zoom in closely to see the location marker labeled “Wreckage.”

I’m so hyped for more Death Stranding content! We’re all waiting to see what happens with the A24 movie and the new animated project, but it looks like we won’t have to wait too long for something cool. Kojima Productions is teaming up with Dnsys to make a real-life DS2 Exoskeleton – basically, a wearable suit inspired by the game! Here’s the lowdown on what we know so far.

Despite their smaller budgets, these games are surprisingly innovative and often surpass larger, more publicized titles. They deliver polished experiences, and sometimes boast gameplay or stories that are actually more engaging – even remaining enjoyable long after they first came out.
